Another public servant has been infected with an acute case of helicopteritis. You know: Flights for me, but not for thee. Traffic jams for the masses, from which government officials get free passes.

King James McGreevey, otherwise known as New Jersey's Democrat Gov. James McGreevey, is still flying blind after his bout with the illness. Even after Gannett New Jersey reporters exposed Mr. McGreevey's addiction to state-owned choppers for private trips, His Royal Highness McGreevey continues to ignore public outrage and claim "executive privilege."

typical Demorat in that what is good for me is bad for you.

Every last stinking one of them has this attitude. Something about public office makes everyone into egomaniacs.

I am surprised they don't all demand a throne room complete with dancing girls and feather fans.

"I am surprised they don't all demand a throne room complete with dancing girls and feather fans."

Probably because we impeached the one who did...

Hey, this is no problem for this elite little fascist.

He can just make a phone call to his sugar daddy, Kushner, and get everything paid for by his sugar daddy:(A total of $237,000 poured into the state’s Democratic Committee from Mr. Kushner or his associates on one day in March of last year. "No single politician has benefited from Kushner’s open wallet more than McGreevey," The Record reported. "Since 1997, the Kushner network has contributed more than $1.5 million to political funds benefiting McGreevey." )

"According to Gannett's review of state documents obtained after a public records request, Mr. McGreevey commandeered taxpayer-funded birds 272 times during his first 10 months in office.

He avoided notorious Jersey traffic congestion and took to the friendly skies almost daily in the months of September, October and early November 2002.

Fourteen of the helicopter trips were nongovernment-related, at a cost of $1,200 an hour..." - Michelle Malkin
